Can anyone tell me what size pinion the motor needs to run one of these? I picked one up on here used and it didn't come with it. Their sites just lists "steel pinion gear" and doesn't say what it is.

thanks
Eric

I would think you would be able to use which ever one you want as long as it fits lol I could be wrong though

well, there is no adjustment between the motor and reduction unit, so when you bolt the motor in, the pinion has to be the right number of teeth to mesh properly.

From the pictures on their site, it appears to be an 11 tooth pinion...

Thanks, but I'm looking for the pinion that goes on the motor and fits inside the reduction unit.

JeremyH · 03-23-2011, 02:13 PM

Ahh....gotcha....sorry.

You might need to send them an email about this...

I'm thinking mine came with an 8 tooth pinion to go on the motor shaft
that goes inside the reduction unit.

Edit: I remembered I just pulled it apart the other day,had it in my Pajero CC01.
The pinion I had on there to go in the reduc unit is a 12 tooth.

Just email rc4wd. I've had to ask them some questions regarding stuff and they have normally gotten back to me in less than a day

I sent them an email this afternoon and they already got back to me. He didn't tell me what it is, but I paypal'd Jason 5 bucks and he's throwing one in an order I'd placed this morning.

Thanks all!!
